Note that I edited out some of the article. Dierks fans can go to the original article and see what was written about him. Rodgers had some nice things to say about Kellie.

Bentley's homecoming rocks Country Thunder

Phoenix's Dierks Bentley drew a large crowd to his homecoming concert at Country Thunder USA, and he appeared to have a ton of fun reconnecting.

(editied)

"It's good to be home," Bentley told the crowd of about 30,000 as he took the stage as the headliner of the third night of the four-day festival.

The crowd for this day's Country Thunder seemed weighted toward 20- and 30-something fans, drawn by Bentley, former American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler and rising country-rock band Heartland.

Pickler warmed the crowd up with a short set that opened with the rocking Gotta Keep Moving and the still-funny Things That Never Cross A Man's Mind.

The women in the crowd related to lines in the second song like "I wonder how these jeans make me look from behind," while many of the guys were no doubt applying that concept as they watched the shapely Pickler work the stage.

Standouts of Pickler's set were the bittersweet Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You and her cover of Tammy Wynette's classic, Stand By Your Man. Pickler also sang a cover of Patsy Cline's Walkin' After Midnight.

The likable singer could benefit by getting another album out soon to beef up the original portions of her concert sets.

Pickler quieted things down for emotional takes on two songs that refer to her challenging childhood, My Angel and I Wonder.

She wrapped things up on an upbeat note with a fan favorite, the girl-power tune Red High Heels.
